Penny Johnson

In our lives, we all have teachers that we remember for different reasons.  Some, we remember for helping us learn a difficult skill. Some, we remember for helping us through a tough social situation, and some we remember for making learning fun.  Many of our teachers here at MCC do all of these on a daily basis. One teacher in particular has made this her life's passion. Engaging, fun, kind, fair, loving, calm, caring, and compassionate.  These are all words that our staff has used to describe Muskegon Catholic Central's Teacher of the Year, Ms. Penny Johnson. Ms. Johnson is very hard-working. She goes above and beyond to make learning fun and exciting for her students - often putting her students' needs above her own.  You can often find her here late into the evenings planning, rearranging, and tutoring and for hours on the weekends preparing lessons for her class. She works diligently to make sure each child is learning at their individual level. Penny is a dedicated teacher who continually learns new techniques to stay current in her teaching skills.  Throughout her years at MCC, she has been a teacher of multiple grade levels, a teacher mentor, and a principal. MCC has been very blessed to have Penny Johnson as a member of our family for the past 28 years.
